What Differences Does a Lab Make in Teaching TCP/IP

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper contrasts two offerings of a TCP/IP course. The first offering had two hands-on exercises while the second offering had eight laboratory exercises. The evidence seems to indicate that the students learned more and enjoyed the course more when they had more hands-on exercises. These laboratory exercises used computers that had been removed from service in the software design laboratory, thus they were very economical for one's purpose.
